BuffBillsForLife Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I can't believe there's a 10-page thread about our 7th (Diggs, Brown, Beasley, Davis, Roberts, McKenzie, Kumerow) string receiver getting cut and claimed by another team. If this guy were the real deal he wouldn't have been cut by Green Bay in the first place and then buried on the depth chart. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like to complain about the Bills This move was known since Brown went on IR and he was signed to the 53. One TD catch was not going to change the outcome. 4.

They probably activated Kumerow and played him because it was already determined that he would be released after that game, so they gave him a good last hurrah. We have plenty of depth at the position. And we got along fine on special teams before he got here. They just needed him for the record J/K Good Luck Jake at least you landed in another good organization. You would think that the sure handed Steelers would be interested in some WR help 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think that the sure handed Steelers would be interested in some WR help Kumerow was claimed before the Steelers had a chance at him, since Steelers have better record than Saints. But he lasted through most of the teams’ claims. I could see Saints cutting him when Michael Thomas comes back, they may need the sign a LB since Kwon Alexander tore his Achilles. If he’s available again I could see him back on bills PS for the playoffs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMF2006 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 16 hours ago, ColoradoBills said: He gets signed and payed for minimum of 3 weeks. Edit: Sorry he was picked off waivers not from the PS. No minimum of games but I see no reason the Saints will cut him anytime soon. When Thomas gets healthy he may be cut then. 15 hours ago, dollars 2 donuts said: I’m never going to forget that time he helped end a 25 year division title drought. Bayos Con Dios, Amigo. I think that Allen would have just thrown that ball to someone else that ran that route on that play 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAJBobby Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Color me surprised. I did not think a team would put in a claim on him this late in season and unable to help them this week because of COVID protocols. Oooo well Brown is back and Isiah Hodges on Redshirt this year.

TBH I think that's why the Bills did what looked like a kinda heartless thing to cut him on Christmas Eve. As I understand it, the guy has to be in town being tested for 6 days before he can enter the team facilities, but team facilities are now closed Mon and Tues. The Bills gave him a cameo appearance, then cut him in time that any team that wanted to claim him could have him in their facility and practicing by Weds. PS salary is (I think) $12k/week, whereas vet minimum is $42k/week. So being on a regular season roster for 2 games somewhere gets him an extra $60k. Potential for an extra $60k is probably a good tradeoff being cut on Christmas eve EDIT: I'm evidently out-of-date about the need to be in town being tested for 6 days. If a player is current on covid-19 protocols elsewhere, no longer applies as of 19 February.

YoloinOhio Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 (edited) 14 hours ago, Bronxbomber21 said: I didn't say that I said he was a better wr that's it Even if that’s true (Roberts has been significantly more productive though I’m not a fan of him at WR either) there is only one fringe WR roster spot available and it is clearly for Roberts because of his integral role on the team. All of the other WR are healthy and play meaningful roles in the offense and play a lot so they aren’t going anywhere. Kumerow wouldn’t even be playing on ST now that Taiwan Jones is healthy again. You can’t cut another depth guy like Andre smith just to keep kumerow because then you are screwing up your #s at the LB position. There is a reason why you have a certain # of players at each position. Edited December 26, 2020 by YoloinOhio 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
